Yes many interesting comments on Twesledown
Having been visiting Twesledown since the fifties i would agree with Barry that the toliet facillities leave a lot to be desired and the present day catering arrangements could also be improved
In my oppinion Twesledown has one of the fairest
admission charges in the country with a £5-00 car park plus £5-00 per head
As for the bookmakers i would assume that beeing a South East fixture our local bookmakers would be in attendance along with our local commentator
Over recent years attendances have tended to dwindle but i would think that this is once again caused by the clashing of fixtures in early season
A great deal has been done over recent years to improve the viewing and i would say that nowadays it is certainly as good if not better than Godstone [our most used course]and considerably better than one other course that is used towards the end of our season
It was also interesting to read Marcus comments as a rider and owner of many good horses
As a spectator my main concern however is the ludicrous number board placed by the side of the paddock the jockeys names are still written in chalk and hardly visible on a good day and none existant should there be any rain about [and yes i have been to specsavers]
In conclusion many top stables still travel to Twesledown to run their horses soo thing cant be all bad
